Gonzaga hires Missouri educator fired over protest conduct

COLUMBIA, Mo. >> A University of Missouri assistant communications professor fired for her conduct during student protests late last year has a new job with a university in Washington state.

The Kansas City Star reports that Melissa Click has been hired as a lecturer at Gonzaga University in Spokane.

Click was fired in February after a videotaped confrontation in which she called for “some muscle” to remove a student videographer from a protest area in November on the University of Missouri’s Columbia campus. The video went viral.

As dean of Gonzaga’s College of Arts and Sciences, Elisabeth Mermann-Jozwiak, says Gonzaga officials knew of Click’s recent history and were confident in welcoming her to the university.

Click was hired for a one-year, non-tenure-track position as a lecturer in Gonzaga’s communication studies department.

    This is what secular progressives have brought us, America. Now you too, can send your little kids off to a college where the inmates run the asylum, and on top of all that; you get to pay big bucks!! Whether it’s an ISIS recruiter, or a murderer, colleges around the country consider these hirings to be in vogue. The left has done an incredible job of taking over education in America, from 1-12, all the way through college. They have your precious little ones for more hours a day than you do, and they brainwash the heck out of them. How else does a self- proclaimed socialist tag along on the Democratic ticket? Of course we all now know that the Dems had the election rigged, and poor Bernie never had a chance. How else does an outright criminal become the only candidate from the Democratic party? Yes, those hallowed halls of higher learning……What a tragedy they’ve become.

      (Geez Peanut, the anger/aggression/ranting issues are getting worse every day. Please talk to your doctor.)

      The non-tenure track lecturer status is the academic kiss-of-death. Still, I can’t see why Gonzaga hired her. They must have any number of worthy adjuncts salivating for a contract.
